The X-Files and Supernatural director, Kim Manners, died last night of lung cancer at Cedars-Sinai Hospital. He was 59. "Everyone at Supernatural is walking around in a daze," creator, Eric Kripke said in a statement released earlier today.
Manners began his career in TV back in the 1970s, but it was with The X-Files that he made an impression, garnering an impressive four Emmy nominations from the 52 episodes he directed. He helped launch Supernatural - the best show on TV - in 2005 and directed many of its most memorable episodes to-date, including the season finales.
Kim Manners worked on many classic TV shows, including Charlie's Angels, 21 Jump Street, Star Trek: TNG - even Baywatch. He was 59.
